About:
Slides is a terminal-based presentation tool that allows users to create and present slideshows directly in the command line. It uses a simple Markdown-like syntax to define slides, enabling quick creation without leaving the terminal. This tool is ideal for developers who want to deliver presentations without context switching to a GUI application.

Key Features:

Markdown-like syntax for easy slide creation
Live presentation mode in the terminal
Keyboard navigation and shortcuts
No external dependencies or GUI required

Use Cases:

Live coding demonstrations and technical presentations
Terminal-based workshops and tutorials
Quickly creating visual aids without leaving the CLI

Alternatives:

slidesv – Similar terminal presentation tool, often with different syntax or feature set
reveal.js – Web-based presentation framework requiring a browser and GUI
pptx/Keynote – Traditional GUI presentation software, not terminal-native
